Description
This is an S scale (1/64th) model of a WMD hopper wagon of the Western Australian Government Railways.
The real WMD wagons were modified from WMC iron ore wagons by the addition of raised sides (hungry boards) in the 1970's to allow efficient carriage of lower density materials including wheat and coal. The WMD models initially retained the grey livery of the WMC wagons, but were later painted in Westrail yellow livery. The photos shows an unpainted model.
This model will not be available for sale through the Gallery. See the Marbelup Models web site for information on availability.

The models are in Sn3½ scale which is 1:64 scale, running on 16.5 mm gauge track to correctly represent the narrow gauge look of the prototype which is 1067 mm (3ft 6in) gauge. Please note that because the Prime Gray material is quite new, the long term durability and stability of models made from it are not known.
